What this video covers
Alex walks through the math of winning a hardwood recoat job with Meta ads. It covers cost per lead, cost per booked inspection and cost to win a job, then what is left after material. It also shows how referrals and people you know can bring that cost down to zero.
Key points
- The number that matters most is cost per job, not cost per lead. A cheap lead that never books is expensive.
- FloorIt starts with Meta ads because most homeowners are not searching for a recoat. Meta creates the demand and Google catches people who are already searching.
- The ranges in the video: about $30 to $50 per lead, $60 to $100 per booked inspection and $200 to $330 to win a job.
- The team aims to book at least half of the leads, by calling fast and following the scripts.
- Your close rate moves the cost per job the most. Close at 20% and it goes up. Close at 40% and it goes down.
- An example month: $3,000 in ads, about 75 leads, about 30 inspections and about 10 jobs. This is an illustration, not a guarantee.
- An average job is about $2,500, with about $200 to $500 in material, and takes about 3 hours.
- One referral cuts your cost per job in half. Your first jobs can cost $0 if you ask people you know or text your existing customers.

Questions this video answers
- How much does it cost to win a floor job with Meta ads?
- The ranges in the video are about $200 to $330 per job won, from about $30 to $50 per lead and $60 to $100 per booked inspection. Your market, pricing and follow-up move every number.
- Why start with Meta ads instead of Google?
- Most homeowners do not know a recoat exists, so they are not searching for one. Meta puts it in front of them. Google catches the people who already search.
- How can a job cost $0 to win?
- Ask people you know, post in local Facebook groups or text your existing customers to ask who has wood floors. A referral works the same way.
